the information will have practical utility; (2) evaluate the accuracy

    Title of Proposal: Continuum of Care Check-up Assessment Tool.
    Description of the need for the information proposed: The CoC 
Check-up Tool will enhance CoCs awareness of their functional capacity 
to assume the new responsibilities outlined in the McKinney-Vento Act, 
as amended by HEARTH. Communities will self-identify and prioritize 
areas where capacity improvement is needed. HUD will garner information 
to assess and direct technical assistance needs, prepare for training 
conferences, develop sample tools and templates, guidebooks, white 
papers, webinars, FAQs, and staff the Virtual Help Desk to best help 
communities plan their transition.

Agency Form Numbers

    Members of the affected public: Continuum of Care lead persons, 
HMIS administrators, ESG grantee lead persons, and select grantees 
under the current CoC competitive grants (The Supportive Housing 
Program [SHP], Shelter Plus Care [S+C], and the Section 8 Moderate 
Rehabilitation for the Single Room Occupancy [SRO] Program), ESG 
grants, and HPRP grants.
    Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the 
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of 
response, and hours of response: 450 CoC respondents x 8 respondents 
per CoC = 3,600 respondents. 3,600 respondents x 90 minutes per 
response = 324,000 total minutes or 5,400 hours.
    Status of proposed information collection: New Collection
